Re: Proper posting

I will try to be a top poster for you Dana, but I can't make any promises.
I will try though. I wonder how your reader used to handle posts from
jsteam who is somewhat challenged in the spelling department (sorry john,
since I know you can't even defend yourself, I love you!!). Dana, you are
an amazing man, I didn't realize that you were blind for the longest time,
until I was poking around your website. One of these days I will surprise
you with a voice call, and you can laugh at my Canadian accent!

hugs
